- Bauer, Henry, The Origin, Persistence, and Failings of HIV/AIDS Theory, McFarland & Co., Jefferson, NC, 2007 (ISBN 0786430486). Bauer details his arguments against the HIV paradigm based on his intense scrutiny of HIV antibody test demographics, concluding that the HIV antibody test results display such profound regularity across categories such as race, gender, age, and geographic location, that they cannot possibly be detecting an infectious – let alone sexually transmitted – microbe.
- Bialy, Harvey, Oncogenes, Aneuploidy, and AIDS: A Scientific Life and Times of Peter H. Duesberg, North Atlantic Books, Berkeley, 2004 (ISBN 1556435312). Bialy covers in detail Duesberg's challenges to both the oncogene theory of cancer and the HIV/AIDS hypothesis. He also describes Duesberg's own explanations of cancer and AIDS: the aneuploidy hypothesis of cancer – the hypothesis that cancerous cells develop via chromosomal destabilization; and the "chemical-AIDS hypothesis" – the hypothesis that AIDS-defining diseases are caused by recreational and pharmaceutical drug abuse in North America and Western Europe and by malnutrition and poverty in Africa.
- Culshaw, Rebecca, Science Sold Out: Does HIV Really Cause AIDS?, North Atlantic Books, 2007 (ISBN 1556436424). Culshaw spent years researching HIV for her work constructing mathematical models of its interactions with the immune system. In Science Sold Out, she focuses on the changing definition of AIDS and the flaws in all HIV testing. In a much broader sense, she explains how the current, government-based structure of scientific research has corrupted science in the search for truth. The book offers not only scientific reasons for repudiating the HIV/AIDS theory, but also sociological explanations of how the theory was accepted by the media and the world so quickly. Science Sold Out also represents a scathing critique of the outrageous discrimination that HIV-positives have faced since the theory was first accepted.
- Duesberg, Peter H., Inventing the AIDS Virus, Regnery, Washington, D.C., 1996 (ISBN 0895263998). The most prominent HIV dissident presents his case to the public in this broad historical survey. Duesberg explains how the AIDS establishment grew out of the failed virus cancer program, how the AIDS epidemic has been epidemiologically fabricated, how AZT has harmed patients, and how political power and retaliation have been used to squelch dissent.
- Farber, Celia, Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS, Melville House, 2006 (ISBN 1933633018). This is a collection of updated journalistic writings by Farber covering a nearly 20 year period. As the author states, "This book is about the twenty-year war between those who believed in the death sentence and those who did not. It was, as I say, an informational war — a war of ideas, values, politics, money, power, and the ways that all of those things cast impossible shadows on what was called 'irrefutable data,' and 'overwhelming evidence.'"
- Hodgkinson, Neville, AIDS: The Failure of Contemporary Science, Fourth Estate, 1996 (ISBN 1857023374). Hodgkinson personally covered the HIV debate for the London Sunday Times between 1992 and 1994. In this book, he recalls his own personal experiences and offers a readable introduction to the oxidative stress hypothesis of the Perth group of researchers.
- Lauritsen, John, The AIDS War: Propaganda, Profiteering, and Genocide from the Medical-Industrial Complex, Asklepios Press, 1993 (ISBN 0943742080). The AIDS War consists of a collection of writings by Lauritsen from February 1985, most of which were originally published in the New York Native. The essays, articles, interviews, and reports which make up the book are presented largely in chronological order. This book is mandatory reading for anyone wishing to understand the political and sociological forces behind the HIV paradigm in the United States in the late 80s and early 90s.
- Maggiore, Christine, What If Everything You Thought You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong?, American Foundation for AIDS Alternatives, 2000 (ISBN 0967415306). In 1992 Christine Maggiore took an "AIDS test" as part of a regular physical. The "positive" results changed her life and she was soon an AIDS activist with AIDS Project Los Angeles and Women At Risk. A year into her diagnosis a new doctor tested her again with contradictory results: a positive, then negative and then a positive. This lead her to search the scientific literature in order to explain for herself the results. The search took outside the confines of orthodox thought, and challenged her to question everything she had been taught and was teaching as an AIDS educator.
